Trump hosts Diamond and Silk in the Oval Office: Republican social media stars pose for pictures behind the Resolute desk and praise him for 'doing more for black people than any other president in our lifetime'

President Trump received Diamond and Silk in the Oval Office on Saturday

Legal names are Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk)

The duo command a following of more than 1 million social media users

Their video commentaries online have sharp criticisms of Trump's critics

Last year, conservatives rallied to their cause after Facebook deemed their site 'unsafe to the community'

Facebook eventually apologized, but it was accused of having a liberal bias

President Donald Trump welcomed two of his most popular supporters - internet stars Diamond and Silk - to the White House on Saturday.

‘Enjoyed chatting with our great President,’ the duo tweeted on Saturday.

‘We love & support the [president] because he loves and supports all Americans.

‘He’s done more for black people than any other President in our lifetime.

here are those that write history but President Trump is making history.’

The image attached to the tweet shows Lynnette Hardaway (Diamond) and Rochelle Richardson (Silk) standing next to Trump in the Oval Office on Saturday.

In response, Trump tweeted: ‘So great being with you both in the Oval Office!’

Diamond and Silk became social media stars after they supported Trump as early as the Republican primaries in 2015.

They first appeared with Trump, who was a longshot candidate at the time, at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina in December 2015.

The two women are former Democrats who threw their support to Trump while encouraging African American voters - most of whom are Democrats - to switch allegiances.

Since Trump became president, Diamond and Silk have frequently been seen on the Fox News Channel, particularly on Fox & Friends and Hannity.

Kraft Heinz: Writedown And SEC Probe Are Actually Worse Than They Look

Kraft Heinz (KHC) has left investors shocked after reporting a big loss in Q4 2018, fueled by a staggering $15.4 billion writedown to a number of its brands. The company also disclosed an investigation by the SEC into its accounting practices. The market sent shares tumbling in the wake of the news. A few intrepid investors have suggested buying the dip, but we are not so sure. Indeed, the world's fifth-largest food and beverage company may very well unsettle investors' stomachs even further. A closer inspection of both the writedown and the SEC investigation suggests that things may actually be worse than they already appear to be.

Not Your Average Writedown On the grounds of sheer size alone, the Kraft Heinz writedown is noteworthy. At $15.4 billion, it is the seventh largest impairment since 2009. The writedown came from two sources: $8.3 billion from an intangible asset writedown of the Kraft and Oscar Mayer brands and $7.1 billion from a goodwill impairment to its North American refrigerated and retail business. But size is not the issue here. The reason this writedown is so unusual is that it appears to have come virtually out of nowhere. Kraft Heinz conducts regular assessments of its various business units, including annual impairment testing. This leads to fairly regular recognition of impairment of goodwill, with the attendant adjustment to the balance sheet. Kraft Heinz conventionally performs its main impairment testing during the second quarter of each year, and 2018 was no exception. When the company reported Q3 earnings, it recognized considerable impairment costs.

MI-6 chief in Israel to meet with Mossad about possible Iran nuclear race

British intelligence MI6’s chief Alex Younger met recently with Mossad director Yossi Cohen in Israel to coordinate intelligence efforts over concerns that Iran may be gearing up to race toward developing a nuclear weapon.

According to a Channel 13 report on Friday night, the meeting took place at the beginning of last week, and signaled a new level of seriousness in Western intelligence concerns regarding Iran.

The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment.

Although Israel has been warning the world that Tehran would find ways to cheat on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the UK and other EU countries have continued to support the deal – even actively opposing new US sanctions imposed in August and November.

In recent weeks, the EU has raised its pressure on the Islamic Republic to cease ballistic missile testing and its interventions in Syria, though those issues were left out of the nuclear deal.

The UK and the EU’s viewing of Iran’s secret nuclear files to make five nuclear weapons – shown to them after the files were obtained by a Mossad operation in January 2018 which Cohen directly presided over – is believed to have set off red flags.

In addition, Iranian leaders have publicly ramped-up their rhetoric of threats to restart enriching uranium for nuclear weapons at a larger volume following the US’s new sanctions.

Tehran’s statements have also included indications that they can easily undo any changes they made to their Arak plutonium nuclear reactor as part of the deal to reopen the path to a weapon using plutonium.

At the same time, the IAEA continues to issue reports, including on Friday, stating that to date, Iran has not violated the nuclear deal.

This would mean that regardless of whatever threat Iran might pose if and when it decides to leave the deal – barring a current clandestine program that even the Mossad has not detected – the Islamic Republic’s volume of uranium is around a third of what would be needed for a nuclear weapon.

There are ongoing debates about whether it would take Iran six months or a full year to enrich enough uranium for a weapon, and it is also unknown how long it would take for Tehran to be able to deliver a nuclear bomb on a missile.

Israeli military intelligence recently estimated that the whole process could take around two years, but past estimates on such issues regarding North Korea have been both overly optimistic and pessimistic at different stages.

Saudi Arabia appoints daughter of former spy chief as US ambassador

Saudi Arabian government has appointed the daughter of Bandar bin Sultan, the notorious former intelligence chief, as its new ambassador to the United States.

Princess Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz received the royal decree on Saturday to become the new Saudi envoy to Washington.

Reema, who has lived in the US for a long time, would be the first female Saudi ambassador.

His father, Bandar bin Sultan, also served as the Saudi envoy to the US for 22 years ending in 2005. He is well known for his alleged role in massive arms deals between Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom that ended in 2006. He is believed to have pocketed about two billion dollars in bribery from more than 43 billion pounds earned by the British defense company BAE Systems.

Bandar also served as Saudi intelligence chief between between 2012 and 2014.

The appointment come as part of series of royal decrees which also ordered the former Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Khaled bin Salman, a son of reigning monarch King Salman, to serve as deputy to his powerful brother Mohammed bin Salman in the ministry of defense.

Bin Salman the senior, only 33 and considered the de factor ruler of Saudi Arabia, is currently leading a devastating war on Saudi Arabia’s southern neighbor Yemen.

As part of the decrees, it was announced that Saudi soldiers fighting on southern brothers will receive a one-month salary bonus.

More than 1,500 Saudi soldiers have been killed during nearly four years of war on Yemen, many of them in counter-attacks by Yemenis on military positions in southern Saudi territories.

The illegal Saudi war on Yemen has left thousands of Yemeni civilians dead while inflicting huge humanitarian catastrophe on the impoverished nation.

Clinton Emails Reveal Direct US Sabotage of Venezuela

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton led a team committed to delegitimising the politics of the late Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution.

Hillary Clinton with former Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez (EFE).

While Hillary Clinton publicly welcomed improved relations with Venezuela as secretary of state, she privately ridiculed the country and continued to support destabilisation efforts, revealed her emails leaked by WikiLeaks.

In 2010, Clinton asked Arturo Valenzuela, then assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, how “to rein in Chavez.” Valenzuela responded that, “We need to carefully consider the consequences of publicly confronting him but ought to look at opportunities for others in the region to help.”

His answer was in line with the U.S. embassy strategy in 2006, also revealed in WikiLeaks intelligence cables: “Creative U.S. outreach to Chavez’ regional partners will drive a wedge between him and them,” said the confidential cable from the embassy. “By refusing to take each of Chavez’s outbursts seriously, we frustrate him even more, paving the way for additional Bolivarian miscalculations. We also allow room for other international actors to respond.”

Spain was among the countries willing to help the U.S. in its subversive foreign relations strategy. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright passed on a message from the administration of conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in 2012 expressing intentions “to re-orient Spanish foreign policy so that it can work with the U.S. in Latin America, especially on Venezuela and Cuba … As a transition in Cuba and something significant in Venezuela (and possibly the Andes) loom, a stronger working relationship between the U.S. and Spain could be very helpful.”

When keeping an eye on regional meetings, Clinton was especially concerned with Venezuela. Responding to a United Nations statement against the coup in Honduras in 2009—that she supported—Clinton shifted the attention to Venezuela: “Ok—but have they ever condemned Venezuela for denying press freedom?” she wrote to Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan.

He responded “I highly doubt it. And that is just the tip of the iceberg,” to which Clinton wrote, “Ah, the proverbial iceberg.”

Clinton was cautious not to respond to all of Hugo Chavez’s “antics,” but her staff insisted that Venezuelan politics were a threat to U.S. interests.

Mike Pompeo Says Regime Change Is Also Planned for Nicaragua and Cuba, Not Only Venezuela

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo admitted that US policy includes “moving against regimes that are no democratic” such as Cuba and Nicaragua, not simply Maduro’s government in Venezuela, in an interview with Telemundo on February 22nd.

“If you’re moving against these regimes that are not democratic, many Nicaraguan people, Cuban people are saying, “Are you going to help us next?” Cristina Londono asked.

“Yes, President Trump’s administration has done so and will continue to do so not just in Venezuela but certainly Nicaragua and Cuba as well. And you see that. You see that in the policies. They’re very different from the previous administration. They recognize that these governments are treating their people harshly, presenting real risks, security risks to the people, privacy risks, denying them basic liberties. And these are not the kind of things that ought to happen in the Western Hemisphere, and the United States under President Trump is working diligently in not just Venezuela but each of those two countries to achieve good outcomes for those people. The people need to lead those efforts. I’m convinced that they are determined to do it as well. The American people will support them.”

So, regime change is not only on the table, it’s a sought-after objective, not only in Venezuela, but also in Nicaragua, Cuba and possibly and likely others in the future.

Pompeo also spoke of the humanitarian aid, claiming that he hoped the Maduro government would let the aid in and that it is listening. Urging the Venezuelan military to allow the aid and not keep the population hungry.

He also once more reiterated that “every option is on the table.” This was in response to a question by Londono, alleging that Maduro may “turn on his people” and if in such a case the US is ready to defend the Venezuelan people from their own government if push comes to shove.

“We’ve talked about the fact that every option’s on the table, but we are very hopeful that the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan military will come to understand that Maduro’s days are past, that the regime that has created these conditions ought not be permitted to continue to inflict this kind of pain and desperation on the Venezuelan people, such desperation that 10 percent of the Venezuelan population chose to leave the country. This is a rich nation with a long and wonderful history, and with the right leadership can be so again. So my fervent hope is that the Venezuelan people will resolve this without violence, with a political solution that gets what the Venezuelan people so richly deserve: a free, democratic nation that can be on the road towards economic recovery with all the liberty that the Venezuelan people deserve.”

CBP seizes more than $19M of cocaine found inside a pineapple shipment: officials

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Friday that cocaine valued at more than $19 million was seized after being discovered inside a shipment of pineapples. The cargo of fruit came from Colombia and arrived at the Savannah seaport in Georgia in November; it was intercepted by CBP Office of Field Operations (OFO) officers and underwent an examination, the agency said in a news release. Hidden within the shipment was 450 packages that weighed more than 1,100 pounds, according to officials. “A subsequent field test confirmed that the packages contained cocaine,” CBP said. Authorities are investigating the drug haul, which netted an estimated $19.1 million, the news release said. It was hailed by Savannah CBP Area Port Director Lisa Beth Brown as “an outstanding interception of narcotics by our CBP officers.”

The core of the socialist legislation is to require the U.S. to eliminate “pollution and greenhouse gas emissions” and meet “100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources” within 10 years.

As one example of how radical the measure is, the legislation calls for every single building in the United States to be “upgraded or replaced.”

Several of the leftist groups pushing the legislation have ties to Soros, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter.

Why Do Child Porn Predators Love GOOGLE PLUS/ Google + ?

What Eric Schmidt failed to acknowledge in his “truly global” announcement was how child pornography and sexual predators were pervading another site in Google’s cache: Google’s eponymous social networking platform, Google Plus, launched in 2011. Schmidt’s catchall networking site, which revolves around the creation of friend “circles,” remains populated by sexual predators on the hunt for child and teen porn.

“We all know that there’s a dark side to the Internet, but most of that people have to go out of their way to look at it,” says John Simpson, privacy project director at Consumer Watchdog, a California-based advocacy group. Simpson adds: “That’s not the case with Google Plus.”

In a 27-page report published in December, the result of a seven-month investigation by an anonymous Internet whistle-blower, Consumer Watchdog presents a number of features unique to Google Plus that make the site a haven for child-porn perverts. Of those features, the organization highlights in particular the site’s hallmark “circles,” online social groups that users create to organize the people they follow. Circles allow Google Plus users to add fellow users to their networks without their recipients’ permission, meaning that perverts, as a result, may follow stashes of children without the kids’ accepting their requests (à la Facebook friend requests).

The organization also takes fault with the site’s automated “suggestions”—what the organization calls a “recruitment tool“—by which predators easily find pages and people related to their “interests.” Most suggestions are based on listed interests and those already in their circles.

A screenshot from the Consumer Watchdog report on Google Plus shows how it's being used by child sex predators to organize accounts and solicit child porn material. (Consumer Watchdog)

Technicalities such as these make for a much larger issue, given the scale and spread of Google Plus, which, as Consumer Watchdog highlights in its report, is set to become the world’s second-largest social networking platform.

“Turning a blind eye to the troubling privacy vulnerabilities on Google+ while encouraging greater use of the social network is simply unacceptable,” wrote Consumer Watchdog in an open letter (published along with its December report) to Google’s Schmidt and Google’s chief executive, Larry Page.

(Google Plus)

But during an investigation of the platform, Consumer Watchdog’s whistle-blower stumbled on a number of interactions and posts directly defying these two policies. The whistle-blower found not only users who posted video and picture footage linked to outside porn sites, but also “self-identified pedophiles,” those who advertised interests such as “all things pervy.” Many of these pedophiles’ circles included young boys and men, some of them in states of undress.

Another screenshot from the Consumer Watchdog report on Google Plus shows how it can enable predators. (Consumer Watchdog)

Likewise, Consumer Watchdog’s work has gone relatively unnoticed. Internet Watch Foundation, a child protection agency based in Cambridge, U.K., says it knows very little about child-predator interactions on Google Plus.

CHILD PERVS ON YOUTUBE

The behaviors mentioned here are similar to those on YouTube we've already written about. Seemingly innocuous dares posed by users who act like teens turn out to be from perverts who get off on the feet of teens and tweens. 

Nevertheless, pornography, specifically child pornography, is a deep-seated and neglected issue on Google Plus.

The network’s communities offer a space for concerned volunteers to share what they’ve flagged. “This is not a porn site,” writes Google Plus user Jennifer Isaacs in one such community “against child exploitation.” She adds: “And it is where children seem to be more easily groomed every day.”

Hillary Clinton, Politico, the liberal media, DC elites and far left organizations are coordinating efforts to silence real people who support Donald Trump and his agenda in the runup of the 2020 election.

The organized left has already decimated conservative voices on Facebook with many of the top 2016 publishers already put out of business. Facebook cut nearly two billion page views to conservative websites in 2018.

This is a bloodbath. Facebook has wiped out conservative content to American users.

There is also evidence of far left Google officials debating how to bury conservative content. Google regularly censors conservative content.

Far left Google and Facebook also control 80% of advertising dollars online.

And they openly discriminate against conservative publishers.

Twitter continues to eliminate pro-Trump and conservative users and shadow-ban thousands of conservative accounts.

But this is not enough.

Democrat fascists want COMPLETE ELIMINATION of conservative voices online.

On Wednesday Hillary Clinton called out social media giants to begin banishing conservatives.

Pentagon chief: Broader approach to border security needed

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said Saturday after visiting the U.S.-Mexico border that the government needs a broader, more effective approach to border control. He suggested the Pentagon might contribute with its expertise in surveillance and monitoring.

"How do we get out of treating the symptoms and get at the root of the issue," Shanahan said in an interview while flying back to Washington.

Considering how the military could reinforce efforts to block drug smuggling and other illegal activity comes as the Pentagon weighs diverting billions of dollars for President Donald Trump's border wall.

Shanahan said he was not volunteering the Pentagon to take over any part of border control, which is the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security. But he said his visit led him to question whether there should be a "wholesale redesign" of the way border control is done by the federal government.

Shanahan said the Pentagon is willing to continue supporting the DHS but wants to see a longer-term solution.

"I don't want to just add resources and not fix the problem," he said.

Two Ecuadorian brothers who ran a company ordered to close because of its trade with abortionists in baby body parts have been apprehended by ICE.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Nestor Yglesias said the brothers, Roberto and William Isaias, were “unlawfully present” in the U.S. and were moved to the agency’s “removal operations” for deportation.

The pro-life group Operation Rescue had produced a report on Oct. 27, 2016, detailing the brothers’ “crimes in Ecuador, dubious dealings with the Obama administration, their business with Planned Parenthood and the aborted baby body parts trade.”

“We understood that this family was in the U.S. under suspicious circumstances, and that they had committed crimes in Ecuador and Southern California,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We had hoped that one day they would return to Ecuador so that justice could be done, but their arrests still took us by surprise.”

Hackers Stole Nearly A Half Billion Personal Records In 2018

The Identity Theft Resource Center has noted an unprecedented surge in hacking activities relating to the breaching of individual personal records in 2018 in their recent research. According to their study, most of these activities were primarily attributed to the continual use and reuse of individuals’ password and usernames as well as the vulnerability posed by third-party vendors. As claimed by experts, the breached data does not end there as they are exposed and sold on the dark web. In this case, cybercriminals purchase the data and use the information to gain illegal access to targeted websites. The hacking of personal records reached an unprecedented high of nearly a half billion in 2018, according to ITRC.

University student suspended for criticising halal slaughter and the Islamisation of Britain

A student and Ukip member who claimed healthcare should not be free to migrants and lamented about the Islamisation of Britain has been kicked out of his university.

Sebastian Walsh expressed his controversial opinions during class seminars and the University of Central Lancashire decided to suspend him after they received several complaints about his behaviour.

The 19-year-old student also branded halal meat ‘barbaric’ and ‘inhumane’ and vowed to friends he would never eat at Subway or KFC due to the way the animals are killed.

The self-proclaimed ‘free speech advocate’ claims being struck-off from university is a violation of his human rights.

“It all started off in a lesson when we were allowed to go off for a break. I went over to another table to try and socialise because everyone was still pretty new. I was trying to make friends with some more people,” he says.

“All I did was voice my opinions during debates about immigration. We got onto the conversation of food and what takeaways we ate. Now, I went over there not intending to cause a debate. I just mentioned that I would never touch Subway or KFC because they use halal meat in their products. I don’t agree with barbaric slaughter on any sort of animals for a religion.”

“I also mentioned that we have 30-40 Sharia courts in this country which openly discriminate against women. If in our country we believe in equal opportunities for men and women why do we allow this? I just don’t agree with those courts and how they treat women.”

SAUDI PRINCE BAGS $10B ON CHINA OIL DEAL

BEIJING (AFP-Jiji) — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met China’s President Xi Jinping on Friday and bagged a $10-billion oil deal, pressing on with his diplomatic charm offensive in Asia following a global outcry over the Khashoggi killing.

Mohammed arrived in Beijing on Thursday following visits to Pakistan and India, showing the world that his country still has allies after the grisly murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate.

“China is a good friend and partner to Saudi Arabia,” Xi told Mohammed in a meeting in the Great Hall of the People.

“Saudi Arabia’s relations with China can be traced back a very long time in the past,” the crown prince said.

“Over such a long period of exchanges with China, we have never experienced any problems with China.”

He met with Chinese Vice Premier Han Zheng earlier on Friday.

“Is the crown prince’s tour symbolic of Saudi Arabia’s pivot to the East? Yes,” Najah al-Otaibi, a senior analyst at the pro-Saudi think-tank Arabia Foundation, told AFP.

“Riyadh wants to strengthen alliances in Asia — especially now with the continuing fallout with the United States over Khashoggi’s murder and other issues, and attempts by the EU to put Riyadh on a blacklist over money laundering allegations.”

Khashoggi, a fierce critic of the prince, was killed at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in October, a murder that tarnished the image of the kingdom and of the crown prince in particular.

The murder sparked global indignation, with U.S. lawmakers pushing for Washington to distance itself from the crown prince, but the White House has maintained close relations with Riyadh, a major ally in the Middle East.

China is looking to strengthen its economic ties with the kingdom, as Beijing pursues its ambitious Belt and Road trade infrastructure initiative, while Riyadh rolls out “Saudi Vision 2030” — the crown prince’s major program to diversify the national economy away from oil.

Mohammed told the Chinese President they could join the two projects “to realize more progress and jointly confront challenges.”

Milwaukee IS THE MECCA OF SEX TRAFFICKING??

(PS like the advertisement for private parties?)

Here's a look at how sex trafficking has affected areas across the country:

'Mecca of sex trafficking'

In March last year, a report estimated 340 young adults and children have been victims of sex trafficking in Milwaukee in a four-year period.

"We've heard from different sources that we're the mecca of sex trafficking, but we need to be able to measure that," Mallory O'Brien, director of the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission, which participated in the report, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the time.

"This was our opportunity to do that," she said.

Research found 340 people ages 25 and younger who were confirmed or believed to have been victims of sex trafficking in Milwaukee between Jan. 1, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2016.

Overall in Wisconsin, child welfare workers confirmed 99 incidents of children and youth sex trafficking statewide from June 2017 through August, 2018, the state Department of Children and Families said in January.

Notable: >>5350824, >>5350839 Conrad Black on how American institutions plotted and schemed in the 2016 election..

For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two competing narratives: that an elected president of the United States was a Russian agent whom the Kremlin helped elect; and its rival narrative that senior officials of the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and other national intelligence organizations had repeatedly lied under oath, misinformed federal officials, and meddled in partisan political matters illegally and unconstitutionally and had effectively tried to influence the outcome of a presidential election, and then undo its result by falsely propagating the first narrative. It is now obvious and indisputable that the second narrative is the correct one.

The authors, accomplices, and dupes of this attempted overthrow of constitutional government are now well along in reciting their misconduct without embarrassment or remorse because—in fired FBI Director James Comey’s formulation—a “higher duty” than the oath they swore to uphold the Constitution compelled them. Or—in fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s words—“the threat” was too great. Nevermind that the nature of “the threat” was that the people might elect someone he and Comey disapproved of as president, and that that person might actually serve his term, as elected.

A Long List of Offenders—and OffensesThe extent of the criminal misconduct of the former law enforcement and intelligence chiefs is now notorious, but to make the right point here, it has to be summarized. The fact that the officially preferred candidate lied to federal officials about her emails and acted in outright contempt of Congress and the legal process in the destruction of evidence, was simply ignored by the FBI director, who announced that she would not be prosecuted, though he had no authority to make that determination.

The dossier of salacious gossip and defamatory falsehoods amassed by a retired British spy from the lowest grade of intelligence sources in Russia, commissioned and paid for by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was circulated to the media by high public officials and cited in illegal and dishonest applications to authorize surveillance of the campaign of the other presidential candidate. A special counsel was empowered on the false pretext of the necessity to get to the bottom of Trump-Russian collusion in the election, of which there was and remains no evidence, because it did not occur and was a complete partisan fabrication.

Notable: >>5350643 Sci-fag's take on "Climate crisis/change"

>>5349947

BAKER, UPDATED GENERAL NOTABLE ON "CLIMATE CRISIS"

Sci-fag here anons. Though only indirectly related to Q and the plan, "Climate change" is a hot button issue that radical leftists, marxist academics, and psy-op media wield as a cudgel against patriots. This is a very effective cudgel, because the public school system has been indoctrinating the youth with an EXTREMELY ERRONEOUS set of presumptions and explanations about climate. Therefore, I would like to succinctly present the truth as far as I have come to understand it, regarding Climate Change. I do this so that you can be prepared to rebut radical leftists who push for ridiculous anti-human socialist pograms (sic) like AOC's Green New Deal.

Point 1: Carbon Dioxide has been scape-goated as the primary driver of all ‘global warming’ (now changed to climate change, since the climate is cooling, despite predictions) via the greenhouse effect. Most recent calculations and research papers tend to conclude that Carbon Dioxide either has minimal effect on temperature or might even have a COOLING effect. Essentially, carbon-dioxide = plant food. More carbon dioxide = more plants = more transpiration (humidity) added to atmosphere. Water vapor has a higher albedo (reflectivity) than the Earth’s surface, and thus deflects more incoming heat

Point 2: Carbon dioxide is probably the most beneficial gas we could release into the atmosphere. Current levels are above 400 PPM. Carbon dioxide is increased in greenhouses to 1600 PPM because IT ALLOWS PLANTS TO PRODUCE MORE FOOD WITH LESS WATER. We should be more worried about Carbon levels FALLING because any era in geologic history with less than 250 PPM Co2 has coincided with MASS EXTINCTIONS. I assume the push to regulate carbon dioxide has more to do with governments jockeying for control of the hydrocarbon fuel resources of the planet, rather than out of a genuine concern for Earth.

Point 3: Nature-loving patriots (such as myself) ought to be most concerned about mercury, sulfate, and pesticide pollutants. Carbon Dioxide IS NOT AN ISSUE AT ALL. IT IS A RED HERRING THAT IDIOTS CLING TO BECAUSE THEY WERE TAUGHT IT WAS BAD IN 2nd GRADE!

Point 4: Almost all temperature variation and climactic changes can be attributed to three things:

1) The Sun

2) Volcanism

3) Comet/Meteor Impacts

And Ironically, earthquakes, volcanism, and comets are also tied to the magnetic field of the sun, so you could rightly say that the Sun is the primary driver of ALL CLIMATE. This used to be self-evident, but now the hard data, observations, and research have been underway and the conclusions are vastly different than the 1990-2010 climate consensus that was taught in grade schools. Some of the most damning pieces of evidence refuting the “Co2 model” are the fact that temperatures on Mars and Jupiter mimic the trends on Earth. Why? The sun goes through cycles. Cycles with more sunspots means more coronal mass ejections (CME’s or Solar Flares.) More CME’s means MORE SUPERHEATED PLASMA SMASHING INTO OUR IONOSPHERE AT DOZENS-OF-THOUSANDS OF MILES PER HOUR. Don’t you think that would increase the temperature more than a couple of SUV’s?

Former Austrian chancellor appears to have lobbied as part of Manafort scheme

By THEODORIC MEYER and JOSH GERSTEIN

Share on Twitter

New filings made public by special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday shed fresh light on the Washington lobbying campaign orchestrated by Paul Manafort on behalf of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his allies.

Manafort “secretly retained” several former senior European politicians to covertly promote Ukrainian interests in Washington. “Although the former politicians would appear to be providing their independent assessments of Government of Ukraine actions, in fact they were paid lobbyists for Ukraine,” according to a superseding indictment of Manafort filed by Mueller’s team.

The coterie of Europeans was known as the Hapsburg Group, Andrew Weissman, one of Mueller’s prosecutors, said at a hearing on Friday. The group was led by a “former European chancellor” and was paid more than 2 million euros in 2012 and 2013, according to the court filings.

The former chancellor isn’t named in the court filings, but appears to be Alfred Gusenbauer, who served as chancellor of Austria between 2007 and 2008. Gusenbauer and two lobbyists involved in Manafort’s lobbying campaign met with members of Congress and staffers in 2013, according to Justice Department disclosures retroactively filed last year by the lobbying firm Mercury.

Manafort called the Hapsburg Group’s lobbying effort “SUPER VIP” in an “EYES ONLY” memo cited in the new indictment. It would involve “a small group of high-level European highly influencial [sic] champions and politically credible friends who can act informally and without any visible relationship with the Government of Ukraine,” he said.

The retroactively filed disclosures show that Gusenbauer met with House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, Reps. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) and Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), House Foreign Affairs Committee staffers and others in Washington one week in 2013. He was accompanied by two Mercury lobbyists, Ed Kutler (who has since left the firm) and Mike McSherry. Kutler also accompanied Romano Prodi, a former Italian prime minister, to meetings with Royce and a staffer for House Majority Whip Eric Cantor months beforehand.

Gusenbauer and Prodi said their work was focused on bringing Ukraine and the European Union closer together and denied being paid by Yanukovych or Manafort.

"I was never involved in any activities for Mr. Yanukovych or the Party of Regions," Gusenbauer said in a statement to Austrian media on Saturday, referring to the former Ukrainian president's political party. "I pushed for the EU to seal an association agreement with the Ukraine at public events in Paris, Brussels and Berlin." (Such an agreement is often a first step toward applying for EU membership.)

Gusenbauer said he was paid for his efforts, but declined to say how much. He denied that was employed by Yanukovych or Manafort. He confirmed that he knew Manafort, however, having met him once in Washington and once in Europe. Those meetings were "only for coffee," Gusenbauer told the Austrian newspaper Presse am Sonntag.

Prodi told The New York Times on Saturday that he’d been paid by Gusenbauer as part of the “normal private relations I had with him” and they the money had not, to his knowledge, come from Manafort. He said he’d never heard of the Hapsburg Group.

“It was Gusenbauer heading the group; we did all our efforts to have peace in Ukraine,” Prodi said. The group, which consisted of “experts and former politicians,” broke up when it became clear that “a stronger relationship with the European Union was impossible,” he added.

PM says ‘left acted to bring extreme Islamists into Knesset’ while now damning ‘union with right-wing parties’; Otzma Yehudit: AIPAC want left in power, government that cedes land

After facing heavy criticism in recent days for brokering a political deal that could see the extremist Otzma Yehudit party enter the Knesset, and following a rare rebuke from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening fired back at critics.

“What hypocrisy and double standards by the left,” he wrote on Facebook, in a post that did not mention AIPAC. “They’re condemning [the formation of] a right-wing majority bloc with right-wing parties, while the left acted to bring extreme Islamists into the Knesset to create a majority bloc.”

He then went on to list several instances of alleged support by left-wing politicians for radical Arab legislators and leaders.

“In 1999 [Ehud] Barak took part in a campaign rally with the inciting Sheik Raed Salah,” he said, referring to the Islamist cleric who has repeatedly been arrested for fomenting violence. (The Haaretz newspaper noted that Barak took a tour in the Arab town of Umm al-Fahm during the campaign, which Salah, then the mayor, attended.)

“Representatives of Labor and Meretz voted for Azmi Bishara, who spied for Hezbollah, to enter the Knesset, and [Isaac] Herzog sought a surplus vote agreement with the Joint List and said the Arab MKs were legitimate in the government,” Netanyahu also wrote.

More Than 100 Bills Proposed in 30 States to Expand, Restrict or Eliminate Vaccine Informed Consent Rights

As of Feb. 18, 2019, the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is monitoring more than 100 bills filed in 30 states proposing to expand, restrict or eliminate vaccine informed consent rights.

Over President’s Day weekend, the NVIC Advocacy Portal team issued Action Alerts for vaccine bills introduced in the states of Connecticut, Nevada and Florida that threaten voluntary vaccine decision making, and also issued Action Alerts for the states of Oregon and Arizona that expand the ability to make informed voluntary decisions about vaccination. Additional bills may be filed during the next few weeks and more Action Alerts will be sent to registered users of the Portal.

Washington, Arizona, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Oregon and Colorado are among the states that have either introduced bills to restrict or eliminate vaccine exemptions or there have been confirmed reports that similar legislation is under consideration. However, there are also a number of bills proposing to expand vaccine informed consent rights, including in Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. As of Feb. 18, NVIC has indicated support for 50 of the more than 100 vaccine-related bills introduced so far this legislative session.

Since 1982, NVIC has advocated for voluntary vaccine decision-making in the U.S. and the inclusion of flexible medical, religious and conscientious belief vaccine exemptions in public health policies and laws. In 2010, the free online communications network, the NVIC Advocacy Portal was launched to inform the public about proposed vaccine-related bills and to email Action Alerts to registered Portal users and put them in direct electronic contact with their own legislators.

NVIC monitors and reports on vaccine-related legislation that affects children and adults living in the U.S., including parents of minor children; foster parents; college students; health care providers and other adults whose lives are impacted by vaccination policies and laws.

KTLA Anchor Chris Burrous Died from Overdose on Crystal Meth During Wild Tryst

According to the death investigation, officials say Burrous worked his shift at KTLA, and then left early for the day complaining he felt ill.

Instead of going home, he set up a meeting with a man at a motel in Glendale for an afternoon of hardcore sex. The two allegedly met on Grindr and had hooked up multiple times in the past.

When the companion arrived, Burrous allegedly answered the door fully nude, and had set up the room with “DJ style” lighting, S&M toys, lubrication jelly and a massage bench. The two men allegedly engaged in various forms of sexual activities.

At some point during the meeting, 43-year-old Burrous allegedly inserted a “rock” of crystal meth into his body.

He then allegedly gave his companion a syringe full of GHB and a bottle of Gatorade. The two became intimate again, and Burrous allegedly used another “rock” of meth before engaging in more sexual activity.

ANOTHER Q POST CONFIRMED – POST #818 FEBRUARY 23, 2018 – EXACTLY ONE YEAR TO THE DAY - Libel laws. End of MSM.

these total Republican hit jobs without retribution?”

Clarence Thomas Wants to Open Up the Libel Laws

In his battle against the media he deems to be the “enemy of the people,” Donald Trump has repeatedly called for America’s libel standards to be overhauled. As a candidate back in February 2016, Trump vowed: “I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.”

In 2018, as president, he tweeted along the same lines:

Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost. Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

America’s legal standard on libel is complex, and rooted in the Constitution. In the landmark New York Times v. Sullivan decision of 1964, the Supreme Court set a standard that public figures cannot recover damages for libel unless a publication published falsehoods with “actual malice” — a term that covers both gross recklessness and malicious intent. The decision was pegged to the protections of the First and Fourteenth amendments, and the case was decided unanimously. For decades, the precedent has given the press leeway to critique public officials without fear of being bankrupted for making an honest mistake.

But President Trump’s call to make it easier for public officials to sue publishers now has at least once receptive ear on the current Supreme Court. In a brief filed Tuesday, Justice Clarence Thomas assailed the Sullivan decision, advocating for the court to return the responsibility for libel law to the states. (Thomas’ brief was filed as a concurrence in the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear an appeal of a unsuccessful libel claim filed against Bill Cosby by one of his alleged victims.)

In the brief, Thomas decried the 1964 court, and the judges who have relied on the New York Times precedent, for producing “policy-driven decisions masquerading as constitutional law.” Thomas — a self-styled constitutional originalist — would like to take libel law standards back centuries. “The constitutional libel rules adopted by this Court in New York Times and its progeny broke sharply from the common law of libel,” he writes, citing practices dating as far back as 13th century England.

Under the ye-olde standards of common law, there was no safe harbor for publishers who might get their facts wrong about a public official. Indeed, Thomas writes, “the common law deemed libels against public figures to be, if anything, more serious and injurious than ordinary libels.” Thomas concludes his dense legal diatribe by insisting there is “little historical evidence” that current precedent “flows from the original understanding of the First or Fourteenth Amendment.”

Noting that federal courts did not “begin meddling in this area until… nearly 175 years after the First Amendment was ratified,” Thomas argues the court “should reconsider our jurisprudence in this area” and return the question to the states who “are perfectly capable of striking an acceptable balance between encouraging robust public discourse and providing a meaningful remedy for reputational harm.”

The call to throw out a bedrock precedent protecting the press is alarming at a time when sitting the president can’t take a joke from Saturday Night Live:

Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019

Encouragingly, none of the other far-right justices on the court signed onto Thomas’ brief, suggesting that, for the moment, Thomas and Trump share a lonely obsession. As Trump put it in a tweet from 2013: “The libel laws in this Country suck!”

Orbán faces backlash over billboard campaign

The Hungarian government’s ad hoardings campaign on “Brussels’ plans” contains accurate, true and tenable statements, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, told a regular press briefing.

European public officials, the European Commission (EC) and the European People’s Party (EPP) should all be capable of self-criticism, he said. The five-year EU parliamentary cycle about to end is best described by failed attempts to keep migrants outside the EU and the UK within the bloc, he said.

Gulyas added that EC President Jean-Claude Juncker, who is featured on the ad hoardings, had done “all he could” to have Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party expelled from the EPP, and publicly declared this intention recently, during the EP election campaign. “Fidesz has always been loyal to the EPP”, he said. In response to a question about the billboard campaign, Gulyas said the government will reach out to every voter by mail to inform them about the details of the campaign.

This week Juncker and several other EPP politicians rejected the campaign. At the plenary session of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in Brussels, Juncker said that he is “totally unable to hate someone” and very surprised to see “these posters now spread around in Hungary full of hatred”.

Swedish EPP MEP Gunnar Hökmark urged group leader and spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber to “address the question of Mr. Orban and Fidesz at the next group meeting and at an extra meeting with the Bureau of the group already next week”, according to Politico.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel told at a press conference on another subject that Juncker has her “full solidarity.” Meanwhile, Merkel’s successor as chair of the CDU, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, did threaten Fidesz with halting bilateral cooperation between the two parties, unless they could find common ground on the EPP’s broader aims, DW reported. “It’s up to the Hungarians to clearly prove that they still belong in the EPP,” Kramp-Karrenbauer told Der Spiegel.

Microsoft staff protest over Pentagon contract for augmented reality tech ‘designed to kill people’

Dozens of Microsoft employees have demanded the company pull out of a contract with the US military to provide augmented reality technology, stating that they refuse to be complicit in “warfare and oppression.”

Microsoft workers released a letter on Friday addressed to CEO Satya Nadella and President Brad Smith, in which they voiced opposition to the $479 million contract that aims to equip the US Army with up to 100,000 augmented reality headsets to be used in combat and for training. The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) will be based on a preexisting Microsoft technology called HoloLens. Released in March 2016, HoloLens is capable of interposing digital images on whatever its wearer sees.

Signed by more than 50 employees, the letter states that the IVAS contract marks the first time that Microsoft has “crossed the line into weapons development.”

“The application of HoloLens within the IVAS system is designed to help people kill,” they wrote. “It will be deployed on the battlefield, and works by turning warfare into a simulated ‘video game,’ further distancing soldiers from the grim stakes of war and the reality of bloodshed.”

The employees said that they “did not sign up to develop weapons,” and demanded more control over “how our work is used.”

Microsoft acknowledged the petition – but insisted that the company has always been transparent and open to feedback from its workers.

“We always appreciate feedback from employees and provide many avenues for their voices to be heard,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement responding to the petition. “In fact, we heard from many employees throughout the fall. As we said then, we’re committed to providing our technology to the US Department of Defense, which includes the US Army under this contract.”

The statement promised that Microsoft, as an “active corporate citizen,” would remain engaged in “the important ethical and public policy issues” surrounding artificial intelligence and the military.

Workers at America’s tech giants have increasingly spoken out against their companies’ business dealings with intelligence agencies and the Pentagon. Firms such as Apple, Google and Amazon have all faced scrutiny from employees and the public alike for their shady dealings with the US government.

In June, Google backed out of a contract with the Pentagon after facing internal dissent from angry workers. The tech giant had been enlisted to provide the US military with an advanced AI that would improve the targeting capabilities of weaponized drones.

Microsoft, however, seems to be sticking to its Pentagon-friendly guns. In December, the company’s president said that Microsoft would “provide the US military with access to the best technology… all the technology we create. Full stop.” He added that he wanted “Silicon Valley to know just how ethical and honorable a tradition the military has.”

Pentagon to send another 1,000 troops to Mexican border

Feb. 23 (UPI) — The Pentagon plans to deploy about 1,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border by the start of March, the Defense Department said Friday.

Those additional personnel will be tasked with applying barbed wiring to existing border fences, Defense Department officials said at a briefing Friday, The Washington Post and The Hill reported. It will bring the number of troops at the border to about 6,000.

“That mission has evolved,” a senior defense official said. “We are now transitioning to supporting [areas] between the ports of entry. We’re laying down another 140 miles of concertina wire — [we’re] about 30 percent done with that — as well as providing a ground-based detection and monitoring mission in support of CBP.”

Military personnel at the border have already installed about 70 miles of wiring, in addition to reinforcing ports of entry and medically treating migrants, a senior defense official said.

Early this month, the Pentagon announced it would deploy 3,750 additional troops to the southern border. Last year, President Donald Trump suggested as many as 15,000 troops could be sent there.

Trump has made border security a hallmark of his administration. The longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history, which ended earlier this year, resulted from his demand for $5.7 billion to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

‘We are defending our borders and freedom’: Maduro amid humanitarian aid tensions

Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has rallied a large crowd of supporters telling them that the country has been defending its sovereignty. The call comes as the opposition was trying to get ‘aid’ from the US across the border.

Maduro rejected the attempts by self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido to pressure border guards deployed to border crossings with Colombia to allow trucks in, calling the campaign an “attempted coup”. He called on the people of Venezuela to band behind his government.

“It is not a time of betrayal, it is a time of loyalty to the country and the supreme ideals of Venezuela,” he said.

Maduro dismissed the defectors, saying what they did was for show, just like the entire situation on the border orchestrated by the US government.

He stated that Venezuela was within its rights to defend its borders and the freedom of its people from a "Washington regime-change operation".

I was not in an area to SEE with yellow vests, but I was in the same hood. I was in an area to see the mobilisation of police.

Supreme Court: Retirees Can Be Court-Martialed for Crimes Committed After Service

>Attorneys for both Marines argued that the cases should have been considered by the U.S. Supreme Court because they have far-reaching consequences for military retirees. The law stipulates that "retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay" and "members of the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve" are subject to court-martial jurisdiction.

>The reasoning, the government argues, is that retirement is simply a change of military status and retired personnel are subject to recall should the need arise

>He added that the very act of receiving retired pay means that retired personnel are choosing to keep a relationship with the military and accept all that goes with the choice not to terminate their commission or request a discharge.

I suspect this would also hold true with anyone collecting disability from the military.

And I do recall talk of Officers subject to recall for life, regardless of retirement (when people were talking about Sessions after he left AG). That might make them subject to this as well. How many members of Congress were Officers?

China is advancing in technology very rapidly. They have succeeded in connecting a human brain to the brain of a rat. This connection is then able to send an instruction to the brain of the rat which compels it to respond in a directed movement. To create a “rat cyborg” as the scientists call them, researchers used an EEG cap on a human to detect instructions for movement. This can be done wirelessly through Bluetooth and the rats would follow directions.

This method is based upon the same elements of biofeedback where you can raise and lower your body temperature for example when connected to a computer that allows you to see how to create such responses. One would suppose that an evil government could, by law, implant chips into humans at birth and override any tendency to rebel.

Teens tweet Trump, find Senate ally, score civil rights win

By LISA MASCAROFebruary 23, 2019

WASHINGTON (AP) — All the bill needed to become law was President Donald Trump’s signature. It would create a national archive of documents from civil rights cold cases. Students had been working on the project for years, families waiting on it for decades. But time was running out.

Legislation dies in the transition from one session of Congress to the next, and unless Trump acted, it would be lost.

So the students at New Jersey’s Hightstown High School did what teenagers do: They started tweeting at the president.

And not just Trump. They tweeted at his advisers, his staff and even Trump-friendly celebrities whose thousands of followers could carry their message to the White House.

As the deadline neared, Oslene Johnson, 19, was managing the project’s Twitter account from under the blankets in her bedroom and trying not to be discouraged.

“When you really look at it, it’s about providing closure for communities, families, and also as a country,” said Johnson, who has since graduated but still works with the students.

Imagine, the class considered, all the people, African-Americans mostly, who have lived with questions about what happened to their loved ones 50 years or more ago. The killings and injuries have long passed. The perpetrators are gone. But the families, she said, “they’re still with us.”

The students’ interest began in 2015, when teacher Stuart Wexler’s Advanced Placement government and policy class at Hightstown High was studying the civil rights movement. They couldn’t believe that in America, so many criminal cases involving racial violence and death could remain unsolved.

Srihari Suvramanian, 17, a senior, said in an Associated Press telephone interview with the class: “It’s just atrocious that these individuals have gotten away with crimes committed decades ago, for so long, even though the majority of Americans know it’s wrong.”

He added: “We think it’s very important to provide a sense of closure. Even if we can’t get a full sense of closure, maybe provide some answers to the people that were denied justice.”

The students crowdsourced a list of cases, filed Freedom of Information Act requests and then waited. Research on old cases often runs into dead ends, and they could imagine the difficulties that families go through trying to get answers.

They turned their attention to Congress.

The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, which collects records at the National Archives from the assassination, provided a model for the legislation they wanted. They took bus trips to Washington to find supporters. Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., was among the first to sign on, inspired, his office said, by the work and the possibility it held.

Then Democrat Doug Jones won a Senate seat from Alabama in December 2017. They had already reached out to Jones, the U.S. attorney who won convictions after reopening the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing case from 1963 in Birmingham.

Six months after he was sworn in as the first Democratic senator from Alabama in a generation, Jones stood on the Senate floor and introduced the bill that would become the Civil Rights Cold Case Collection Act. The students watched from the gallery above.

“Justice can take many forms,” Jones said. Reconciliation can be a potent force, he said. “After all this time, we might not solve every one of these cold cases, but my hope is, our efforts today will, at the very least, help us find some long overdue healing and understanding of the truth.”

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who was presiding in the chamber that day, has said he was so moved that he told Jones he would sign on as a co-sponsor. Cruz helped bring Republicans on board. By December, in the final days of the congressional session, the bill unanimously passed the Senate and was approved in the House, 376-6. From there, it was off to the president’s desk.

But the students worried the bill would expire when the new Congress convened in January.

“We went on a mad, desperate scramble to get the president to sign the bill,” said James Ward, a 17 year-old senior who helped mobilize the student body, class by class, “to take out their phones and tweet.”

In Wexler’s classroom, students posted photos of Trump’s “midnight advisers” — aides, media celebrities — and started putting “X’s” through the ones they had reached out to. “We were tweeting at as many people as we could,” Suvramanian recalled.

Notable: ; >>5346336 On the economic aspects of Venezuela’s crisis: OPEC and gold (commentary)

One of the more overlooked possible reasons that the USA sanctioned Venezuela's largest state owned oil company (Petroleos de Venezuela, better known as PDVSA) is that Venezuela was nominated as this year's OPEC president. Manuel Quevedo is the president of PDVSA and is also this year's OPEC president. We now have leverage over OPEC, which is needed for a smooth transition away from the petrodollar/fiat system and the return to honest money.

It's not like Venezuela just entered a crisis, they have been crashing and robbing the people for years, as Maduro sold Cuba oil and Cuba provided an army for protection. We first had to wait for Manuel Quevedo to assume the position as president, which happened early this year.

It's all about energy (oil) and money (precious metal) and the deepstate has been using Venezuela as a stronghold. Venezuela was the gem of South America and has massive oil and metal reserves. These have been socialized on behalf of the clowns. Their gold is also targeted, as seen by the Bank of England not returning their stored gold. Several planes showed up soon after the sanction and seemed to be helping launder their gold, or retrieve their investment before the scene starts changing.

Not only will supporting President Guaido help the people of Venezuela to stop being financially raped by the President, it will give the good guys further leverage over the president of OPEC. Hopefully the possibly new incoming president will spend the countries resources in a way that is best for the people.

Notable: Barrick Gold renews interest in Newmont merger

Barrick Gold : Renews Its Interest in Newmont

TORONTO – Barrick Gold Corp. said it is sizing up Newmont Mining Corp. for a possible deal that would unite the world's two biggest gold producers and cap a flurry of big acquisitions in their industry.

Barrick, with a market value of almost $23 billion, said on Friday it is considering an all-stock, no-premium transaction to merge with Newmont, which is valued at about $19 billion. The Toronto-based company hasn't yet initiated discussions with Newmont, two people familiar with the matter said.

The development comes on the heels of deal-making by Newmont – and threatens to complicate it. The Denver-based company agreed earlier this year to buy miner Goldcorp Inc. in a stock deal worth $10 billion. The pending deal would make Newmont the biggest gold miner by production, passing long-time rival Barrick, whose output has been declining.

A Newmont spokesman said the company remains confident that its planned merger with Goldcorp is an "unparalleled opportunity." He said the company won't speculate on Barrick's motivation for announcing it is considering making a hostile bid. Goldcorp shareholders are set to vote on Newmont's offer April 4.

Barrick has long considered merging with Newmont to pair up their large gold-mining operations in Nevada and create an industry giant that would dwarf its nearest competitor. The last serious attempt at a deal faltered in 2014.

The Canadian mining company was the undisputed king of gold production until its output slumped, falling 25% over five years to 5.3 million troy ounces at the end of 2017 – about the same as Newmont at the time. Barrick has since acquired Randgold and its annual production of about 1.3 million troy ounces as of the end of 2017. In that year, Newmont and Goldcorp produced a combined 7.9 million troy ounces.

Barrick's renewed interest in its rival reflects heightened pressure to rein in costs for ore extraction and production at a time when gold prices are languishing and ore reserves are shrinking.

‘Toxic mixture’ of Trump, Pence & Bolton endangers Europe’s security – top German MP

Published time: 23 Feb, 2019 08:13

The German politician proceeded to up the ante: “This is a toxic mixture, it endangers Europe’s security.”

In support of his claim, Trittin listed a number of important accords that were derailed or abandoned by the US, including the Paris climate change agreement, the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, and – most recently – the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). Treaties aside, Trump also quit UNESCO, citing the UN body’s ‘anti-Israel stance.’

Meanwhile, the New START treaty which cut US and Russian nuclear arsenals by half will expire by 2021, Trittin noted. The milestone pact was inked in 2011 by then-presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev on the heels of ‘resetting’ strained US-Russia relations. But, eight years later, there is no sign that it may be prolonged.

With that in mind, Europe must turn its head to Russia as “it is time for a European disarmament initiative.”

North Korea’s Kim begins long train trip to Vietnam for summit with Trump: report

HANOI (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un set off by train for Vietnam on Saturday, for his second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump next week, media reported, and hours later, two witnesses saw a train crossing into China from North Korea.

The reports of Kim's departure from North Korea came after Vietnam announced that Kim would make an official visit in "coming days", as the Southeast Asian country prepares to host the summit with Trump on Wednesday and Thursday.

No details of the leaders' travel arrangements, or for the summit, have been officially released.

Trump and Kim will meet in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, eight months after their historic summit in Singapore in June - the first between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader - at which they pledged to work towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Democrats reject GOP effort to alert ICE when illegals fail gun background checks

Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee approved a universal background check bill, but rejected an amendment to alert authorities when certain buyers fail a background check — even if the buyer isn’t a legal citizen. Republican Rep. Greg Steube introduced the amendment to H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, that would require notification to specific law enforcement agencies when an individual fails a background check, and would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be notified upon the failed background check of an illegal immigrant, Fox News reported. Democrats rejected the amendment, instead passing the bill without it in a 23-15 committee vote and sending it to the House floor for a full vote.

If the Democrats really are for gun control, then why did they block an amendment that would notify @ICEgov when an illegal immigrant fails a federal background check in the process of purchasing a firearm?https://t.co/oRTQeBHsBk

— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) February 19, 2019

Steube said, “Clearly, the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee don’t care about preventing gun violence, they simply are playing politics with Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The fact that Democrats do not want law enforcement notified if an individual attempting to purchase a firearm fails a background check is truly troubling.” He added, “In rejecting this amendment, the Democrats have shown their true colors. It is clear they are not interested in preventing gun violence or stopping the illegal purchase of firearms, but rather they are only interested in limiting the rights of law-abiding citizens to advance their own political agenda.” Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz said, “Democrats in the Judiciary Committee just voted against notifying ICE when an illegal alien fails a background check to buy a gun. They hate ICE so much that they’d keep ICE in the dark when illegals try to get guns!”

The Yellow Vests don't exactly get a lot of coverage from the US media. But for some reason, WaPo has decided this week to carry the AP wire story on YV 15. This article is not very long and not very fact-based (although I did manage to find one new fact in the article: that there are five separate demonstrations in Paris).

Why is WaPo covering the YV's with hot-of-the-press (like an hour old) report? Maybe because the only other fact–and a second rate fact at that–is that Toulouse demonstrators "blocked access to an Amazon platform," whatever the heck that means. But, sorry folks, no details. As usual.

French yellow vest protesters seek momentum on 15th week

By Associated Press February 23 at 8:37 AM

PARIS — Yellow vest protesters took to the streets across France on Saturday for a 15th straight weekend of demonstrations, trying to re-energize supporters while tamping down on the violence and anti-Semitism in the movement’s ranks.

Hundreds gathered at the Arc de Triomphe monument in Paris for a march through well-off neighborhoods to protest government policies they see as favoring the rich. It was among many rallies and marches planned around Paris and in other cities.

Five separate demonstrations were organized in the French capital.

Support for the movement has ebbed in recent weeks as it has splintered and outbreaks of violence continue. Online announcements for Saturday’s marches appealed for peaceful action, and one of the weekend protests aimed to stand up against anti-Semitism.
